>It's like recursive valuation.

Exactly correct. Most of these crypto companies hold assets that are nothing but tokens they or an affiliated entity print on demand. Just like how most of Tether's assets are commercial paper yet they refuse to name whose commercial paper and no one who makes a market in that space has ever dealt with them - it's obvious the commercial paper was issued by other crypto companies and likely secured only by crypto. And how exactly do people think all of those staking/farming operations are generating those ridiculous levels of "yield"?
